contradictionary

A lexicomic glossary that re-defines a set of standard words (see also
antidictionary, neolexicon, and pataglossary). (The Devil’s Dictionary, the
most famous contradictionary, provides the real (that is, the cynical)
definition of words so that we can finally learn that “black” is “white.”)
